The Engadin is a long valley in the Swiss Alps located in the canton of Graubünden in southeast Switzerland. It follows the route of the Inn River from its headwaters at Maloja Pass running northeast until the Inn flows into Austria, one hundred kilometers downstream. The Engadin is protected by high mountains on all sides and is famous for its sunny climate, beautiful landscapes, and outdoor activities. - in: wikipedia

This card shows Sent, a village located in the Engadin Valley.
Sent, in the Engadine valley, is beautifully situated on a sunny plateau high
above the Inn River at an altitude of 1440 meters above sea level. A major
attraction in this village is the “Parkin Not dal Mot”. This park at the western
end of Sent was designed by Not Vital, a local, world-renowned artist. His art,
his structural creations and sculptures are on exhibit in the park.
The
village itself is also noteworthy for its architecture with the typical Sent
gables as well as the prominent village church and the unusual bell tower. - in:
